So the melta sponson weapons for the russ seem to have two barrels. I have greenstuff and never make melta sponsons. Can each of them possibly make 2 melta guns for my vets? I shall soon find out... Then Blow up some Land Raiders.

It could work.... Also flamers can be converted pretty well too.

I made these with a space marine landspeeder multi melta. Easier to do as it also has the canisters.

Well if it's the barrel your after just get a peace of tube plasticard, the cover from a paint brush nib or the empty inner from a pen. Either way you have the end of a Melta gun if you just drill some hole in it.
For any piping get some guitar wire. I just noted on another thread how good this stuff is for modelling. Is flexible, different thickness, easy to cut, easy to bend and when painted looks just like corrugated piping.

I regrettably have no pictures at the moment, but what I did was take the flamer, cut off the hose just at the connection point to the gun, chopped the flamer nozzle off, and attached the muzzle break from an autocannon to the front. I happened to have a supply of autocannon muzzle breaks as I had converted mine to have the old bell style muzzle break seen in WWI and into WWII using a disc of card and a mortar round cut in half to make the bell.

I see.. unfortunantly I only have two unused flamers in my weapons bitz box though it sounds like your conversions would look more like the standard meltas than my current creations.

Flamers, fortunately, can be had rather cheaply from various bits retailers ($.50 to $1 each) as opposed to meltas which I have seen in excess of $7 each.
